There's No Other Name Like Jesus

8.7.8.7. with Refrain

Studio

1There's no other name like Jesus, 'Tis the dearest name we know, 'Tis the angel's joy in heaven, 'Tis the Christian's joy below.

RefrainSweet name, dear name, sweet name dear name, There's no other name like Jesus; Sweet name, dear name, There's no other name like Jesus.

2There's no other name like Jesus When the heart with grief is sad, There's no other name like Jesus When the heart is free and glad.

3'Tis the hope that I shall see Him When in glory He appears, 'Tis the hope to hear His welcome That my fainting spirit cheers.

4If He wills that I should labor In His vineyard day by day, Then 'tis well if only Jesus Blesses all I do or say.

5If He wills that death's cold finger Touch my feeble, mortal clay, Then 'tis well if only Jesus Is my dying trust and stay.
